Wanyi, the tall girl which I always called because she is tall, tallest in class, taller than me, I am short, stop. =D She’s the only Penang friend in my class, the same hometown people had her birthday celebrated early, which supposed to be falls on 15th May. =D
We decided to get her an ice cream cake from my school’s Baskin Robbins and let her blow the candle after class on Thursday.
Then we ate the cake together. Yums. Most importantly is, happy birthday tall girl! =D
Yoyoyo guys, I am back, sorry for being MIA for about 2 weeks. I went back home to Penang last week and I am back to Bandar Sunway right now and the best part of all is I have done all the presentation needed in college! Say YAY! It had been many sleepless nights for me since last week, spending time till early morning in university and also in my room, slept for like couple of hours and was a zombie all the time.
The tiredness payoff, it’s fun, yet tiring. Though, it haven’t comes to an end yet because I still have 2 submission to go, though need less hands on because both of them are computer work and 2 paper of examination coming next week then after that I am free like a bird, for at least 2 months.
This week is supposed to be a study break holiday, somehow lecturer moved the presentation to this week and I don’t really get to spend time back in Penang. My coming back to college make me shock because stupid Taylor’s University closes the back gate again and I have to drive my car into uni to park somewhere 1km away. Really pissed me off, moreover the weather was so hot past few days.
Had two presentations lately. I think I don’t hate presentation because I want to be like Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs who deliver awesomely great keynote. He is my idol and he is my role model. Yet, I still need to learn more, crap more, only then I can be like him. Steve Jobs rocks. Presentation subject was about L
eon Batistta Alberti, some Renaissance Italian architect. Haha. Not bad, learned something about him.
Next was I spent a lot of time in my little rented room, I have moved out of hostel by the way, for quite some times. Taylor’s University Hostel sucks to the max, don’t stay. Unlike lastly where I spent most of the midnight in campus, I didn’t for this week because I started off in my room so I want to end it in my room too.
Created a big mess in the room, super dirty, UHU glue, paper cutting, food, drinks everywhere but don’t worry, it’s clean now because it’s over!
Finally, I created a model, and of course, several orthographic drawings. Two more assignments to go! Wish me luck! Have a nice day friends. =)
Haha. I am posting photos taken during the Interior Behaviour Study class again. The class duration is like so long 4-hour straight nonstop and it is in the design studio. Loving design studio a lot! =D One day during the class while the lecturer was attending other group for tutorial, we played Tap Tap. I am still figuring how to download songs onto Tap Tap Revenge, any tutorial? =)
We were playing Lady Gaga Revenge for most of the time as it’s the only one that has multiplayer on my iPad. I don’t have songs in my Tap Tap Revenge though. Haha.
The multiplayer that we played was not two person only, there’s like 6 person playing a single Tap Tap game because of six different fingers. =D
Then nothing much, went around to take photos, talk and wait for the tutorial from the lecturer.
And next week would be the last week for this semester, yet I have plenty of assignments to rush for! Due dates! Sleepless night! Coffee! Red Bull! OMG! Wish me luck and give me spiritual support. Haha.
It was a fine and quiet Sunday. A BOMBA (Fire and Rescue) truck was spotted by the roadside with several fire fighter and many busybodies on Jalan Tanjung Tokong. The date was 17 April 2011. I live near that area and was curious so I went to check out what’s happening. At first, I thought it was snake, I saw people going in to the manhole, I thought there’s a big python or something sort of animal and mom thought that there’s people fallen into the man hole.
I was thinking that it’s pretty ridiculous to fall into a manhole because all manhole are closed and even if it’s open, people will tend to walk away from it.
I went to check it out what’s happening, joining the busybodies group, yes I am a busybody. In fact, the real thing is really people stuck inside the manhole. The real news is like this, 2 underground drain worker went to clean the underground drain but got flushed away by water and they were stuck in the drain. Drown and I saw body took up by the BOMBA in the afternoon.
Then they continue to search for the 2nd body. They were pretty unsure that where the bodies had flushed to and stuck at, one were found pretty quickly and another one took them till the night.
After seeing that they rescued one, I went back home thinking that it will be over soon, but there’s even more BOMBA trucks and onlookers coming to the site. I got even curious and went to check it out again.
Armed with a camera to take photos. One is be a busybody, another is I get to shoot photos of they are working.
It’s pretty sad that the workers went to work in the morning and got flushed away. It took like so long to find them. I believe it’s not easy to look for as the underground drain is filled with toxic gas, moreover is flooded and lies deep underground.
The day was high tide and that’s where the water came from, the sea.
Underwater cable camera was used in the drain too, but found nothing.
The whole Jalan Tanjung Tokong was jam, everyone was just looking to the roadside, slowing down their car to check out what’s happening. Very funny thing is that busybody not from this area even park their motorcycles and went to check out what’s happening. This is so Malaysian.
BOMBA getting ropes.
There’s 5 BOMBA trucks at there, including one volunteered BOMBA, one police van and a ambulance.
Well, I felt bored and went back home and didn’t bother to wait for news.

It’s a very random short clip about the IBS class that I attend every Thursday. It’s a 4 hours studio-style class with lots of tutorial and awesome lecture, Mr Foo Cherch Kang. =D
Not very random post but just to share some shots I taken back in Penang last weekend. Yeah. It’s an awesome home to me, I believe soon in the future will be a famous International city. I sounds so Penang-lover right now and yes I am, proud of when I am from. =) Last weekend in Penang was awesome, very relaxing, loved the weather, the food, people but not the assignments I brought back home to work with. Aduhainya.
Awesome view of Gurney Drive with a little bit sense of local kampung. The capital of Malaysia should have been closer to the sea or many a canal, but not. It’s a valley!
Some people asked me why do I go back so often, the answer is very simple, I love my hometown. Somemore Penang and Kuala Lumpur is like only 4 hours = 370km away, they are near, little bit, but still nearer than people going to Singapore, or oversea which they can’t even go home. Maybe they like where the place they are but home is awesome. Why don’t I stay in Penang to study? I want a better education and I want to explore more.
Not really been to many places over the weekend, just lunch, camera shop, some nice restaurants, baby’s birthday, town and the cinema. Spent more time with the assignment though.
Went to lunch on Gurney Drive.
And I am feeling bad not finding my friends when going back because that I have too much that I wanted to do. Hopefully the next visit I can look for them. =) Penang is a small place, yet it has almost everything, the people, the food and the entertainment.
Visited my favourite camera shop Click N’ Snap on Penang Rd to look for some camera gear.
War Winz Enterprise, a computer hardware shop that you must visit in Level 4, Prangin Mall. =) I went at a wrong time as it’s not opened yet, it’s open now by the way and it’s my tuition teacher’s shop. Go support support. =)
I don’t know why most of the time I come back to Penang will go to town and walk around KOMTAR area. I feel it’s fun walking in the city centre, although there’s not really much thing to see and by the way, KOMTAR is renovating the shopping mall, excited to see what it will be in a few months time. =D
Chao, I am hungry, currently writing this in the library and just finished Malaysian Studies exam and had no breakfast in the morning. OMG. Eat time!
Oh yeah people, party goer, clubber, anti-clubber and everyone, I want to let you know that the Hennessy Artistry event for 2011 is back and at happening next week, both in Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

The recent SOX 2011 Drum and Dance in Penang and Kuala Lumpur were hot! Many cheerleading and drumline pros of many many high school participated in the two days workshop and audition event.
Oh man. I wonder why I didn’t join the drumline during highschool, it would be so shiok hearing people cheering from me from the stadium and win prizes. Haha.
The best part of the workshop and audition for final is the famous duo Ean and Cher are there to cheer for the team! So nice.

Rocks! =D
Not sure if you guys know about this place or not, I think it’s pretty new and I only knew about it recently when I passed by while going to Klang for Bak Kut Teh on one fine night. I saw the place filled with many LED lights trees, it’s like a park, like a garden and it’s called i-City, which is in Shah Alam.
One fine night, I went there with friends to check out the place with curiosity because I didn’t really know what’s the place is about cause I heard before we need to pay entrance fee, it’s just all light trees, nothing much. But after checking it out, I know what’s that.
Yes, we need to pay RM10 for parking per car. If walking into the place, you need to pay RM2 per person. Wow! Very expensive park, I am selfish, they shouldn’t charge and open for free to attract more and more and more visitor.
Well, if you go in the morning or before 7pm, it’s FREE. =D As long as the sky is not dark, you need not to pay. But you will see nothing when it’s bright. It’s actually all fake tree with LED as the leaves and petals. I thought it was LED on the real trip but actually it’s not.
Lai Quen.
Gary, my senior.
Lai Quen, Connie and Zhi Inn.
Although it’s just light, I think it’s pretty fun to walk around to take photo. Remember to bring a good wide aperture lens like 50mm f/1.8. Too bad I lend that lens to my brother and I only have my Tamron 17-50, shooting at 1600ISO. A steady hand is needed.
Then there’s some part of the i-City need to pay optional fee like there’s a mini animal park which is just animal sculpture in LED, you pay RM2. I didn’t go in. =D Then there’s also the reptile centre where you need to pay again, it’s real reptile though, like a super duper mini reptile zoo. There’s lots of snake and everything.
Quite many people taking photos and walking around at there. My friend told me that i-City serves as commercial office blocks in the morning and there’s a few restaurant where people can chill out at night. But the main attraction is the light park.
Well, do wear lightly, although it’s windy sometimes, but it’s still warm after all and perspiration beats out of our body.
Then at one side of the park, there’s a few games stall like in the fun fair and I saw a big outdoor LCD screen, it was playing CSI that time. I like the concept of the place, it’s like a new hang out place but they should reduce the parking and have more restaurants and cafe, and shopping too, then it’s perfect.
Wei Kean and the Freako.
Went back at 12am after checking out the super duper mini reptile zoo. =D RM5 for student entrance. Haha. Very good.
iCity is a good visit. Want go again when I have a better camera gear, oh yeah!
